The Great Big Giant Pasty White Hope demands your attention

The Blue Jays press, bloggers and fans have all gone emo over the past week, dramatically biting their knuckles, streaking their mascara and pre-publishing obituaries to the team's hopes and dreams of ever contending, next year or even distantly into the future.

Meanwhile, Travis Snider has been smacking the living shit out of the ball.

The 21 year-old Snider, who remains the biggest prize in the Jays system, was named the Pacific Coast League player of the week for last week. In his last five games (July 30-August 3), the GBGPWH scored 15 runs and drove in 13 with three homers, seven doubles and a triple.

For those of you who forgot what hope looks like, it is approximately six feet tall and 235 pounds with number 45 on its back, a wisp of post-pubescent fuzz on its chin and a youthful red glow in its cheeks. And hopefully, it will be patrolling left field at the Rogers Centre before the end of the month.

There's a certain amount of service time where if you're below it, September doesn't count, but I don't know for sure what it is. Anyways, having spent the last 3 months in Vegas, Snider should be below the super 2 line.

I know the whole marginal "If the Jays..." thing has been pretty infuriating over the past few years.

But frankly, if the Jays get within 90% of what they're getting from Hill and Lind, plus production from Snider and something close to their career averages for Rios and Wells, this could be a pretty scary team next year.

If you look at those third order wins, it at least gives you a sense that this team could really be something next year without blowing it up entirely.

Plus, look at all of the added depth they're going to have in the bullpen!

2010? Monkeyfudging PLAYOFFS!!!1 Just like we were promised in the off season.

Hey Tao, when you've got nothing better to do, or are bored, or both; why don't you take a look at the Tao's Wondering Eye segment from the off-season and see if you would have actually wanted any of those guys on the Jays. Just an idea.

Wilner is now officially a propagandist! Halladay gave up 5 runs(4 earned) , 10 hits and he's still good??!! The Yankees braodcasters gave mad props to Doc BUT one of them mentioned the fact that they got 5 runs off of him at Yankee Stadium, which isn't like Doc. In addition, Doc gave up 10 hits in that 3-2 loss to Oakland. If anyone think sthat he is the same old Doc ...think again. Thanks to Ricciardi, who rattled him with all this trade talk, he's off his game. Bad Job, JP look at what you've done

The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
